physical appearance

[Cilia]

Well, I get the fact that what we would have for common foodstuffs in the real world would be expensive as hell delicacies in Eorzea, but even fat people existed in the historical hard-to-farm days of yore.

They existed, but were mostly limited to wealthy aristocrats, who had the money to pay for frequent meals of meats and other high-calorie foods. Everyone else was subsisting on vegetables and other low-calorie foods, while working they asses off to produce it. By medieval standards, there were not many fat people. Most non-aristocratic "fat" people were more likely than not very muscular beneath their girth (hee hee). Their body type just makes them look fat (see: male Roegadyn casters).

History lesson: the difficulty of getting fat in that time period is why so many works of art portrayed fat people as beautiful, since it was a difficult-to-attain ideal.

(Just say ps3 limitations, ill accept it.)

In what regard is it a PS3 limitation? Jiggle physics? Well, my avatar's boobs bounce just the same on PS4 as they did on PS3, so... who knows? I'd have to take a look at the programming complexity and see if the PS3 can handle... whatever difference it is you suggest it can't. Plus know the specs of the systems. And stuff.
